Milanovic: The International Court of Justice and Mass Atrocities in the Former Yugoslavia

Marko Milanovic (Univ. of Nottingham - Law) has posted The International Court of Justice and Mass Atrocities in the Former Yugoslavia. Here's the abstract:

This paper, presented at the DOMAC Conference in Amsterdam on 30 September - 1 October 2010, examines the impact that the International Court of Justice may have had on domestic investigations and prosecutions of mass atrocities. It concludes that as a general matter the Court's impact has been nil, at least if more direct forms of impact are concerned, and elaborates on the reasons for the Court's limited role so far.
